After several weeks of practices and scrimmages, as well as the "Competing with Character" session that anchors each season, the soccer, volleyball, field hockey, cross country, and football seasons all have their first contests this week.

This week we've got soccer Tuesday and Thursday, field hockey, golf, and volleyball Wednesday and Friday — plus the football season opener on Friday evening! — and volleyball on Saturday.

Last year, the boys' soccer team ended with their best record in years, despite neither the boys' nor girls team making it into the state tournament. Field hockey made it to the Round of 32, volleyball got to the Round of 16, and the football team, though they put up a solid record up to that point, fell to Wayland in a Round of 16 heartbreaker.
